Short-circuit plugs belong to the group of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/alders.p3group.de\/en\/products\/pcb-hardware\/\">PCB components<\/a>\u00a0and are primarily used in electrical prototyping where they are applied on plug-in boards. Short-circuit plugs can also be used for electrical installations, for example in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/alders.p3group.de\/en\/industries\/building-services-technology\/\">building services technology<\/a>. The characteristic shape and compact dimensions improve the overview of circuit designs. Thanks to a short-circuit plug, the status of an electrical connection can be determined at a glance.<\/p>\n<p>Since both contacts are connected electrically, a short-circuit plug causes a short circuit when used in a socket. In addition to the use in experimental settings, short-circuit plugs can also be used when working on power connections. When applied in this situation, they ensure, for example, that the circuit cannot be inadvertently switched on at a power socket.<\/p>\n<p>The pins of a short-circuit plug can have different designs. The classic banana plug has a name-giving, curved leaf spring element that ensures a firm fit. An alternative is the so-called tufted plug. In this case, the individual plugs fan out into springy wires that come together again or are held together by a cap. These wires perform the function of the leaf spring and hold the plug just as firmly in the socket.<\/p>\n<p>Another variant of the short-circuit plug is a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/alders.p3group.de\/en\/alders-explaines\/jumper\/\">jumper<\/a>, which is only a few millimetres in size. This is also known as a short circuit-jumper and has sockets instead of pins. Jumpers are primarily used in computer technology. The jumper is plugged onto the pins in question and thus bridges them.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-473","glossary","type-glossary","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!--
